“One of the first things I remember is my mum doing the housework to The Supremes. When you hear music like that when you're young, it stays with you.”
IN 1989, the world stopped, looked, and listened as a young singer and songwriter (b. 1966) from the United Kingdom belted “All Around the World” with the sleek sound of Philly soul. Since then, Lisa Stansfield has redefined rhythm and blues with her unmistakable blend of brass, strings, grooves, and a rich, soulful voice. She left the urban music scene at the height of her popularity in the early nineties to focus on herself. Years later, she returned sounding even better—a testament to Lisa Jane Stansfield's honest dedication to her craft and audience.
